What VetBizGrowth is and what it isn't

VetBizGrowth.com is an independent affiliate review site. We test and evaluate business software, platforms, and programs — and we write honest reviews of what works and what doesn't for veteran, minority, and women-owned small businesses.

The reviews here are written by Randy Johnson, a former Marine and independent business researcher embedded in the Digital Wealth Ecosystem (DWE) — a veteran-owned AI operations company based in Emerald Coast, FL.

Why this site exists

Most tool review sites are paid placements dressed up as editorial. A platform pays for a top ranking, the review gets written around that ranking, and the reader — who is just trying to find software that won't bleed them dry — gets nothing useful.

Veteran and minority business owners are a specific audience with specific problems. The certification landscape is complex. Capital access is harder. The margin for error on a bad software subscription is smaller. They deserve reviews written specifically for them, not reviews written for a generic SMB audience and relabeled.

That's what this site does.

How we make money

VetBizGrowth.com earns affiliate commissions when readers use our links to sign up for the tools we review. We disclose this on every page that contains affiliate links. Commissions do not affect our ratings or recommendations — if a tool is bad, we say it's bad, even if it pays well.

We do not accept paid placements, sponsored reviews, or "featured listing" arrangements. If a company wants to pay to appear on this site, the answer is no.

The parent brand

VetBizGrowth.com is a property of The Veterans Consultant, LLC — a VOSB, SDVOSB, and minority-owned consulting firm founded in 2018 in Emerald Coast, FL.

TVC is the consulting brand — for business owners who need a strategist in the room. VetBizGrowth.com is the resource brand — for business owners who need the right tools first.

They are not the same thing. They don't compete. They point at each other when appropriate.
